Spain Publishes Revised Mediterranean Purse-Seine Fishing Plan in Official Gazette, Adjusting Temporary Closures
Spain's Official State Gazette (BOE) published on November 7 Order APA/1178/2026 of November 5, from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, amending the annex of Order APA/852/2023, the management plan for purse-seine fishing in the Mediterranean fishing sub-ground.
The amendment concerns the temporary closures (vedas) set out in the management plan. Purse seining is one of the main fishing methods of Spain's Mediterranean fleet, and the plan regulates fishing periods and closures to protect fish stocks.
The order takes effect as provided following its publication in the Gazette, and affected vessels and industry organisations must follow the revised annex.
